• Negotiate & Lock it In: Handle the business side of things by negotiating rates, reviewing terms, and managing bookings and cancellations.
• Curate the Database: Build and maintain an organized, up-to-date database of venue contacts, pricing, capacity, amenities, and past performance.
• Save the Day: Troubleshoot venue-related hiccups calmly and efficiently, escalating only when absolutely necessary, so our events run flawlessly.
• Collaborate: Work closely with the events and community team to ensure the venue perfectly matches the vibe of the event.

Who You Are

• A Natural Negotiator: You're comfortable asking for the best rates and favorable terms while keeping the relationship positive and professional.
• A Remote Self-Starter: You thrive in an autonomous environment and can manage your own time effectively.
• Detail-Obsessed: You take pride in being highly organized. Nothing slips through the cracks on your watch.
